Error -13860 When Configuring ARP Request for NI XNET IP Stack

Issue Details

• My device has a IP address and a MAC address. How do I statically pair them so that XNET IP stack does not have to send an ARP Request in order to determine the destination MAC address?

• I tried adding MAC address separately into JSON configuration string in XNET Example IP Stack Config - Single Interface subVI but keep encountering Error -13860.

Solution

In order to pair IP Address with MAC Address, it is recommended to use the Static ARP Table terminal of the XNET Example IP Stack Config - Single Interface VI. Please take note that Static ARP function is only provided in NI XNET 2023 Q2 and above. Please refer to the picture below.

Additional Information

Starting NI XNET 2023 Q2 and above, Static ARP Table terminal is provided as Static ARP Cache Configuration function. This function enables user to configure XNET IP stack with IP Address/MAC Address pairs statically so the XNET IP stack does not have to send an ARP Request in order to determine destination MAC address.
